Barack Roll.

I don't really know how he thought of all these but kudos to the person who created this clip. This video is really funny!

Here's U.S. President Barack Obama singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

My Name.

You Are Level-Headed and Trustworthy

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

2009.

Happy New Year!

Glam.

I'm currently in a Glam Rock/Rock Ballad trance and I'm enjoying songs such as this:

Then I remembered that Mariah had the same version of this song.

I love the Glam era.

Prince Caspian.

I've just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, a movie I downloaded a week ago, and I must say I am a fan. I loved the first, loved this one, and now I can't wait for the third. According to various fansites, production will begin this January 2009.

So apparently, The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels published during the 1950s.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
The Silver Chair (1953)
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
The Magician's Nephew (1955)
The Last Battle (1956)

I hope I find the time to read them all. And since I've seen the two movies, it wouldn't be hard to imagine how everything and everyone would look like, especially Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes).

Cute, I thought. He looks like he's such a sweet guy. A pretty boy. But this photo is so much better.

Ben Barnes + Cigarettes = HOT.

C'elle.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Present researches show that umbilical, placental and other adult stem cells include the successful treatment of Alzheimer's, Autism, Autoimmune diseases, Cancer, Burns, Immunodeficiencies, Arthritis, and other chronic diseases.

And now an exclusive and revolutionary service, C'elle can provide women with the unique opportunity to collect and preserve vital stem cells that can be harvested from the body's menstrual fluid during the menstrual cycle. Until now, menstrual blood has typically been discarded as unsanitary waste. However, exciting new research shows that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future. The C'elle menstrual stem cell comes from the uterine lining (endometrium) that is shed as part of a woman’s menstrual period. These menstrual stem cells are unique because they have many properties and characteristics similar to both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells; they multiply rapidly and can differentiate into many other types of stem cells such as neural, cardiac, bone, fat, cartilage and possibly others; demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies. Preliminary research suggests that in addition to potential use by the donor, these stem cells may possibly be used as well to benefit other family members who are genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or child.

Watch the C'elle Client Testimonial and participate in the research that could change the world for the better. Remember, it's not just about the Science, it's also about you trying to save a human life. And who knows? the life you save might be that of someone you love.

There Was A Man Of Double Deed.

This is one creepy nursery rhyme.

There was a man of double deed,
Who sowed his garden full of seed;
When the seed began to grow,
'Twas like a garden full of snow;
When the snow began to melt,
'Twas like a ship without a belt;
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a tail;
When the bird began to fly,
'Twas like an eagle in the sky;
When the sky began to roar,
'Twas like a lion at my door;
When my door began to crack,
'Twas like a stick across my back;
When my back began to smart,
'Twas like a penknife in my heart;
And when my heart began to bleed,
'Twas death, and death, and death indeed.

The version recited by Jamie in the latest One Tree Hill episode goes a bit different...

A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds,
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It’s like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It’s like a bird upon the wall,
And when the bird away does fly,
It’s like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It’s like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It’s like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It’s like a penknife in your heart,
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead indeed.

But still creepy nonetheless. I think it's included in the 19th Century Anthologies of Nursery Rhymes. But who would read this to a child? I know I wouldn't.

Popular.

Wentworth Miller once appeared as a guest star on the TV show Popular. He plays a blackmailing gay "Manazon" in charge of a cheering squad.

Nice. Although, I was waiting for him to dance.

President.

I don't care much about politics. I don't vote. Hell, I'm not even from America. But this is something I must say just to get it out of my system.

I HATE John McCain.

I think he'll do everything to win this election. If he's willing to do these things to get the presidential seat, imagine what he'll do when he wins. He'll probably put an end to America. United will become divided.

I LOVE Barack Obama. And I hope he wins.

Panamanian Condo Hotel.

The Republic of Panama or simply Panama, an international business center and a transit country, is the southernmost country of Central America. It is located in the middle of Costa Rica, Columbia, the Carribean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean.

A city in Panama called Casco Antiguo founded in 1673, is now one of the world's most beautiful historical places. It has a range of sophisticated hotels which was cropped up within a span of few years. And now, you can own your very own hotel condominium.

Panama City's oldest continuously operating hotel is about to become its most exciting urban destination. With its Andalusian details, modern amenities, and a prime location at the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Hotel Casco Antiguo will cater to sophisticated travelers who seek the kind of charm, vibrancy and style that mainstream hotels can never deliver.

Upon its completion, the restored Hotel Casco Antiguo will be a condominium-hotel with 34 rooms and a full complement of amenities. A first in Panama, guests and owners will have access to the inaccessible through in-house concierge services provided by Quintessentially, the world's leading luxury lifestyle group.

It's a great place to live and invest so register for an eBrochure here to learn more about this place. You wouldn't want to miss out on a great investment such as this. It happened to Macau and Dubai, and now, it's happening to Panama.

Camp Rock.

I've been hearing this song a lot this past week. It's a song from the movie Camp Rock which stars the Jonas Brothers. I know I'm not a fan of this kind of music but it's catchy. Plus, I always see the music video playing on the Disney Channel.

And I don't mean to sound creepy but I think Joe Jonas is cute.

I don't know what's happening to me. Next thing you know I'm watching the movie. Jeez!

Squint For Me.

There are three reasons why I still watch One Tree Hill:

1. Nathan Scott is hot.
2. Little Jamie is so cute.
3. I want to know how it ends.

I used to be a fan. I used to wait for it to come out every week and see what happens next. But then Lucas becomes a womanizing jerk and I think I got fed up with all the Lucas drama. Peyton, Brooke, Lindsey, who else? I lost track of all his women.

But to be fair, I don't think the writers have nothing good left in them. I actually enjoyed this week's episode.

The Cure's music is depressing and whiny. And if it could squint it'd be Lucas Scott.

I paraphrased but it's totally right on. I think Lucas is hot but all he does is squint, squint, squint! It's annoying. Take off your shirt already.

The Code, Published.

The creators of the hit sitcom, How I Met Your Mother finally published "The Bro Code".

"This is by far the most disgusting, disparaging, stomach churning thing I've ever read, which means a lot if you've ever seen one of my husband's grocery lists."
--Lily A.

"You'll howl... with delight!"
--Stephen King

"Stinson uses language like a scalpel, digging though our deepest emotional tissue to expose the very core of the human psyche."
--Mike Tyson

"Finally! A book worth reading!"
--God

"Stinson beat me to it."

"I'm sorry what?"
--Maya Angelou

"I have a hundred words for 'snowflake' but only one word for 'The Bro Code,' - awesome!"
--Some Eskimo maybe

"This book makes me want to rethink my career."
--Mark (the dude who wrote the Gospel)

iLASIK Information.

Both NASA and the US Military have been using laser vision correction technologies or LASIK to increase the performance of their mission-critical personnel. This procedure which has been used by thousands and thousands of civilians in the past five years, has now been developed by the Department of Defense and NASA to help improve the vision of specialized personnel facing extreme, physically demanding conditions.

This procedure utilizes the latest in LASIK technology. It uses two lasers instead of one, as in earlier versions of the procedure. The first stage of iLASIK uses wave-front technology to map the unique characteristics of the individual’s eyes. Then, an ultra fast, computer-guided laser creates a corneal flap. This laser replaces the handheld microkeratome blade used in older forms of LASIK and makes the procedure exceptionally safe. After the flap is created, the wave-front mapping data guides a second laser for vision correction. The combination of these advanced laser technologies creates a custom-fit procedure clinically proven to provide excellent safety and visual results.

This LASIK information is good news for those people who are having eyesight problems yet hate to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. I know these people would agree when I say that wearing contact lenses is too much hassle. You put it on your eyes, it makes you cry, then you have to remove it at the end of the day and clean it before you can even go to sleep. Not to mention you have to go to your eye doctor to have your eyes checked regularly to make sure you're wearing the correct prescription lenses.

I know I'm just a blogger so don't take my word for it. As I've said earlier, the US Military, NASA, and the US Department of Defense are all using it.

According to Steven Schallhorn, M.D., a retired U.S. Navy captain and leader of clinical research and studies done for the DOD regarding the use of LASIK:

"The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness."

Some notable results of the military’s evaluation of modern LASIK in 100 military personnel showed that 95% achieved 20/20 uncorrected vision or better. When asked, 100% of naval aviators having undergone the procedure would recommend the surgery to other naval aviators.

Everyone wants to have perfect vision and right now, based on what I have read, I can conclude that iLASIK is the best way to correct vision problems.
